Summary:
The Hamburg Area School District in Pennsylvania has only one middle school, Hamburg Area Middle School, which serves students in grades 6-8. The school has consistently ranked in the bottom half of Pennsylvania middle schools, indicating persistent challenges in academic achievement.
Hamburg Area Middle School has a 2-out-of-5-star rating from SchoolDigger, and its proficiency rates in Math, English Language Arts, and Science are all significantly lower than the state averages. For example, in the 2024-2025 school year, the school's Math proficiency rate was 24.9% compared to the state average of 41.7%, and its ELA proficiency rate was 44.5% compared to the state average of 48.5%. The school's 8th-grade Science proficiency rate of 50.7% in 2023-2024 was also lower than the state average of 54.5%.
Despite having a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 13:1, the school faces significant socioeconomic challenges, with 52.51% of its students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch in the 2023-2024 school year. The district's per-student spending for the 2022-2023 school year was $18,460. These factors may contribute to the school's persistent academic struggles, and comprehensive improvement efforts may be needed to address the underlying issues and improve student learning outcomes.
